Save Vietnam's Wildlife

What Save Vietnam's Wildlife does

Save Vietnam's Wildlife (SVW) is a non-profit, non-governmental scientific and technological organization founded in July 2014 under the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations and licensed by Vietnam's Ministry of Science and Technology. Headquartered at Cuc Phuong National Park in Ninh Binh with an administrative office in Hanoi, SVW's mission is to reverse the decline of Vietnam's ecosystems, protect wildlife habitats, and promote the recovery of threatened species — with a particular focus on pangolins, Owston's civet, otters, binturong, leopard cats, and masked palm civets.

SVW operates six core programs: Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation (operating rescue centers at Cuc Phuong and Pu Mat National Parks), Habitat Protection (anti-poaching operations and SMART patrols), Conservation Research (population monitoring and post-release tracking), Conservation Breeding (captive breeding for critically endangered species), Community Engagement/Education Outreach (school and buffer-zone programs), and Advocacy (national policy reform). Technical capabilities include AI-enabled PoacherCam systems for detecting illegal forest entries, thermal drones for wildlife and human-elephant conflict monitoring, camera traps for population studies, SMART patrol software for ranger route planning, and — launched in April 2026 — a Mobile Nature Center using VR/AR to reach an estimated 200,000 people annually as part of the 'Voiceless Forest' campaign.

SVW is funded solely through donations and grants from individual supporters, corporate CSR programs, and international conservation funders including USAID-WWF, Welttierschutz, Wild Planet Trust, Synchronicity Earth, and the Mohammed Bin Zayed Fund. Revenue is generated via a donation portal, an adoption program for endangered species, corporate partnership packages, and grants. The organization also established the Vietnam Wildlife Rescue Network, coordinating 22+ rescue units across the country. Named strategic partners include Cat Tien National Park (MOU since 2021, supporting its 2024 IUCN Green List recognition), Pu Mat National Park, the Vietnam Administration of Forestry, and CITES Vietnam.

• Fauna & Flora International (FFI): International NGO running species-focused rescue, habitat protection, and community conservation programs across Asia, including Vietnam. Closely comparable in operating model (rescue + community + policy) and grants-based funding structure.

Broad incumbents

• World Wildlife Fund (WWF): Global conservation giant and direct current partner of SVW through the USAID-WWF Saving Threatened Wildlife grant. WWF operates at a vastly larger scale and overlapping focus on species protection, anti-poaching, and policy advocacy, making it the broadest incumbent peer.

• IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature): Global conservation standards body and current partner of SVW via the Green List assessment for Cat Tien. Overlapping mandate on protected-area management, species protection frameworks, and policy guidance.
• Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS): Large international NGO with active wildlife trade, anti-poaching, and protected-area programs in Southeast Asia. Comparable in species-protection mandate and government-partnership model, though at materially greater scale.

Others

• Synchronicity Earth: Existing SVW funder and grantmaking partner focused on underfunded conservation priorities in biodiverse regions. Listed as an ecosystem partner rather than a competing operator; provides grant funding to SVW's conservation programs.
